Posting period 11/2009 is not opened

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I am unable to create a material... Throwing following error messages

• Posting period 11/2009 is not opened

• Period 11/2009 is not open for account group S & GL 799999

I tried using '0B52', but not quite sure if I'm doing it in the right way ?

Which Variant should we need to use ? How to allocate that to our company code ?

I would really appreciate if you could let me know the steps to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Karthik

maybe the financial posting period is not the problem, try MMPV to move logistic periods.

Friend,

Tried with MMPV as well. Still the same problem is exists.

I have tried adding stock to the material (MB1C) several times, ending up getting the same error message (mentioned above).

Accidently, just one material has been created (documents xxxxxxxx posted), when I've been trying with multiple sets.

If that's case, should I need to do any validation check in Material Master, since its getting createdjust for one material ?

I really appreciate if anyone could help me out with this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Dear Friends,

Its done.

I have no words to describe all you guys help. I would like to thank everyone for all your valuable time / inputs.

Actually, I haven't changed anything, but still could able to allocate the stock to the material (MB1C).

Hopefully, shouldn't be problem with the settings (mmpv, om52) , reckon I was missing something else while creating the

Material.

Since I need to close this task immediately, have no time to do the Root cause analysis of the problem .

Let me put my head into this issue when I find time.

Thanks once again friends.

Hi,

This is how you need to do it.

Go to Tx: OMSY or MMRV & check the current period against your company code.

Theory behind Posting Periods in SAP

Posting periods are calculated using a Config: Setting called u201CFiscal Year Variantu201D attached to the Company code. u201CFiscal Year Variantu201D is the deciding factor for the company code, whether to follow the calendar year or any other calculation method.

Eg: Fiscal year can be start from July & goes to the next year June for some companies.

Therefore what you see in the OMSY might not be the actual calendar month that SAP is referring.

(Eg: 01 means Jan, 02 means Feb, 03 means March, etc is not always the case)

So first you have to check the Fiscal Year attached to your company code.

Go to below path to check Fiscal Year attached to your company code.

IMG -> Financial Accounting (New) -> FinanciaI Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> GIobaI Parameters for Company Code -> Enter GIobaI Parameters ->

Go in to your company & Check the Fiscal Year Variant field. There you can identify whether it equals to the calendar year or not. If its not clear, take that Fiscal year variant 7 go to below IMG path;

IMG -> Financial Accounting (New) -> FinanciaI Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> FiscaI Year and Posting Periods -> Maintain FiscaI Year Variant (Maintain Shortened Fisc. Year)

Go in to the node.

Select the Fiscal year & double click on Periods node.

If Fiscal Year is same as calendar year, then you should have that u201CCalendar Yru201D tick box ticked.

Now check what's the SAP Fiscal month relevant to your calendar month.

The go to MMPV & open that relevant Fiscal month accordingly.

Then you should be able to post.

Hope this helps you !

Hi,

You have to open the period in FI by OB52 or in MM by MMPV. Check this link; you will get the answer in detail.

Check both MM period that is with MMRV whether current perio is 08 2009 and also FI period with OB52 and see whether it 08 2009 only.
